Excursion Miary’s Sacred Banyan

Miary’s village, located 10 km of Tulear, is well-known for its sacred banyan which is a fig tree characterized by long descending branches that reach the ground and thus look like roots. The tree, which is protected by a wooden fence, is so large that resembles a forest itself! Miary’s banyan is repeatedly cited as the most representative of the island’s essence. It is a sacred tree with indian origins and worshipped by its inhabitants. Malagasy usually come there to worship their ancestors and deposit offerings. The sacred character of the place, which is also depositary the clan’s laws and legends, is easily perceived in the quiet environment. It a silent secluded place really convenient for meditation which gives it a singular charm.

The village was formerly owned by the Masikoro ethnic group. To improve the village’s wealth, the local market offers you the organically grown products.

According to an old legend, long time ago, the village was the victim of ceaseless waves from the Fiherenana river that boards the area. Therefore, the villagers tied together a young man and a virgin with banyan leaves in order to sacrifice them as a tribute and thus release themselves from this malediction. The river accepted the gift and withdrew. Afterwards, a tree grew where the sacrifice took place and would eventually represent the reincarnation of the two children that were given to the river.
